Hi, (im not a noob or a pro so please feel free to ask me to specify anything)

So I just transferred my old computer guts into a new larger case to prevent any overheating.
NOTE: I've never had problems with my graphics card before this.

1st attempt: computer gives 6 beeps and no display but the card has power, I decided to remove the card and run the onboard graphics and got the computer to boot fine using my RGB display, I get a message saying that my amd drivers were not functioning or couldn't be found. So i re-installed the drivers and put my graphics card back into the system and it worked fine. but a week later, my pc randomly turned off by itself for no reason (I just had it on I wasnt running anything on it).

I tried to turn it back on I get the 6 beeps and the graphics card isn't working again so again i removed it and booted with the onboard graphics now here I am wondering if I'm going to have to reinstall my graphics drivers constantly until I figure this out 🙁 I tried checking for BIOS codes online but i cant seem to find an answer for 6 beeps for my motherboard


Is anyone else having or has anyone solved this before and can help me out?

General specs:
PSU corsair 600w
MOBO Joshua H61 Uatx
Graphics Radeon R7 260x
memory 8g ram
CPU intel i3-3240 3.4ghz
windows 8

Things ive tried: checked ram, reset CMOS battery, checked case to see if everything was secure

Since it started after you reseated the MB into a new case, if it happens again, examine the board for any metal touching the board itself, (ground yourself then) pull it, look for any odd loose nuts where it sat, plastic tabs around motherboard screws. Happens after that try the old case and see if the problem continues. When you did the transfer, it is possible you damaged something from even an unnoticed static discharge.
